St. Paul Lutheran Church

Forgive us our sins as we forgive that's how Jesus teaches us to pray. Yet most of us struggle both with forgive others and even forgiving ourselves and yet Jesus says we compromise our forgiven standing before God when we refuse to forgive. To grow in this area of our prayer it is not a matter of trying harder but spending more time at the cross of Jesus being reminded that of all that we have been forgiven and that Christ has died not only for our sins but the sins of those who have sinned against us. And that they only thing necessary to forgive them is for them to have sinned against us.
